To download your full Grade Center in an Excel-readable format, first navigate to the course's Full Grade Center. In the upper right corner, point to WORK OFFLINE then click DOWNLOAD GRADES.

The default options are likely fine. However it's worth noting -- if you'd rather create and score columns in Excel, then upload them to Blackboard's Grade Center for student view, you can download only the User Information. This will give you the framework for offline grading and uploading later.

Either Delimiter Type will work for Excel (so again, defaults are fine). However, if you'd rather use a spreadsheet program other than Excel, the comma delimiter is more universal.

Clicking SUBMIT generates the file and takes you to a download page. Click DOWNLOAD to save the file to your computer.
